No but it does sound interesting. Unfortunately I don’t have the patience for many books and tend to just read stuff online on bits of history I’m interested in.

If Russia do f**k this up then they will never be taken seriously again. Logistics problems on their own doorstep! Forget expeditionary warfare.

It is basically the definitive book about the Russian tactics used in afghanistan, why they used them and why it failed badly. It is fascinating.

So did pornhub! 

 

Mind you within a short space of time they’d crashed the Russia state TV so I wouldn’t not take them seriously.

This was shot four years ago. Gives you an interesting insight into some of the stuff going on there. Obviously it’s about rave culture etc but very telling. Watch it.

Surely there's got to be special forces operatives from various parts of the world in the Ukraine at minute helping out?

It’s difficult to tell but it really does sound like Russia is struggling, and with some really fundamental stuff, like taking enough f***ing diesel! They allegedly still haven’t achieved air supremacy with Ukrainian air defences degraded but still going.

It sounds like everyone, including the pentagon, are surprised how bad Russia are doing.

I said way back on here how interesting this potential war would be. A real test as to the relevance of armour in modern war.

Short answer is it’s still not clear but Russia really haven’t achieved that much yet.

So it'd either the Russians have f****d up royally or the conspiracy is true,it was a 'fake' invasion an he took out all the bio labs lol barn burner this one born

Something which I don’t think has been mentioned on here ? Anonymous declared war on Russia. That is probably going to hurt quite a lot, they are pretty capable folk. Be very interesting to know what they manage to achieve / have achieved. 

I did mention it.... Apparently shut down Russian mod page and gave out names of involvement.... God bless .... Hackers mostly russian by all accounts

There would be a lot of far right militia groups heading that way also.

I’m wondering if this might have something to do with the logistics nightmare of orders being wrong, communications poor, not enough stuff taken etc etc. Doesn’t seem very Russian.

How can Russia win? Kill Ukrainians? There's no quick fix, lose face ? China left the party... Putin should kill himself ....job done die a horse riding judo expert .....

If you look back over the last few years (I think I put a video up earlier) the Ukraine has an already existing, very good series of ‘militias’ as well as the regular army. I wouldn’t worry about their expertise! 

There's videos of handing out AK47's to the general population, but however romantic and patriotic it looks, I doubt even 10% know how to lock, load and move the safety off !

My point was we can supply all the high tech weapon systems we want but they need the expertise to use it.

I hope they do. I'd say, fairly certainly, that the west,( USA, UK,  The Five Eyes ), are giving all the help they can with satellite surveillance, radio traffic, etc, but it seems to me that it's the boots on the ground that will win or lose this war.

Cheers.

The one thing I will say for Putin. At least he just invaded, rather than dressing it up as being the good guy and helping Ukraine, saving them blah blah blah.

Mostly to a battle hardened country, don't think of them as a normal EU country these guys have been fighting for decades...
